Footballs? Red and blue?

Which posts in particular are you referring to?

They'll absolutely thrash us and it will be shitful and embarrassing. The only way we can win is if they kick 7.18 instead of 18.7.

Obviously not but it doesn't help.

We should stop going to Darwin.

Pedersen is out for the season with a nasty fractured wrist that required surgery.

Nonsense. If you think this bunch of duds, spuds and losers can win a premiership anytime in the next five years you must have a serious mental deficiency. We need better players. It's about winning games and premierships.

He could practice his kicking for goal. I doubt he's been doing too much of that recently as a career back man

What has happened to Dawes? A year before he left the Pies he had a great year, kicking multiple goals and playing his role at a high level as a forward. Since then he has been a highly paid law student and a dud player. Is he focussed on his career after footy and just using MFC to support him while he does his degree? It's disappointing for us as supporters.

What was needed was for three forwards to lead in three directions to draw the opposition and give the mids and backs some options to kick to. This is basic footy used very effectively by Norm Smith all those years ago!

We had no one behind the forwards marking pack to crumb. They always had a player there and rebounded time sand time again.

Spencer wasn't in the team today.

We must have been side by side!

1. That's silly. He was our best player today. 2. The draft is a lottery. We need to trade to get some better players. Draft picks are no guarantee of good players.

Out: Bail Terlich M Jones Jamar (retired) Fitzpatrick Howe (hopefully trade) Trengove McKenzie Riley Hunt White Grimes

Allen was a good forward. I'm not convinced that his IQ level was in the genius class. Edited by Kali, Today, 04:53 AM.

Brayshaw a huge loss. Howe, Bail, Matt Jones useless. Dawes dropping marks as usual.

I'm so sick of being beaten by this pack of scum.

Nice goal Alex N-B!

These ABC commentators are barracking for the Water Closet Eels.

Terrible kick MacDonald. Lucky WC inaccurate.

Weak weak weak.

Thud back to earth.

Does anyone else have the feeling we might come crashing down to earth next week with a big thud?
